Medication can lower cholesterol numbers, but nutrition changes address the underlying cause. A registered dietitian can help you identify which foods are raising your LDL, build a heart-healthy eating pattern that fits your lifestyle, and reduce your reliance on medication over time — all with evidence-based strategies, not generic advice.
